In special education stu- dents received extra help in their academic stud- ies, learned crafts, and learned the perspectives of human relationships and civic responsibility. Many of these students received additional help in certain scholastic courses. Excellent reading skills are required for aca- demic success. The remedial reading program at CHS provided special instruction to improve read- ing skills and help assure a student of success in keeping with his ability. Seemingly average stu- dents have improved the quality of their reading skills and thereby became quite outstanding stu- dents in their chosen field. W-.N SPECIAL EDUCATION GRACE S.
